[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 14301233, member: 155561"] It has two limitations as I see it: 1. Direct injection. When a DI car runs out of fuel, it is hard to get more, plain and simple. 2. The integrated exhaust manifold. Once that thing chokes it will be very hard to make more power. Granted, assuming this engine is based as heavily on the 2.3L mazdaspeed3 motor as we seem to think it is, I have tuned several BT mazdas making 450 whp on the stock exhaust manifold so... maybe it wont be terrible. I saw one at the dealership yesterday and I have never drooled over a car like that. I saw a GT at the auto show a while back, but really being able to get up close and look at this car... it really is something else. [/QUOTE]
